Designing Women S4 E25 - Just a Little Bit Wicked

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/07/17

Van Halen may have been “hot for teacher”, but this week – and probably only this week TBH – our Mary Jo is hot for preacher. Is this love that she’s feeling, or was this just an excuse for some fun baseball fan references? Speaking of: we’ll sidebar on some memorable “fan-on-the-field” moments including the ones that inspired this segment. Come back on Thursday for an Extra Sugar that’s part-mythbusters, part-advice column, part-business development? Come back to find out!

Designing Women S4 E24 Extra Sugar - 10 Simple Steps...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/07/13

As we talked about - at length - this week, Suzanne hatched a foolproof plan for Anthony to pretend to be Consuela so he could overcome her citizenship hurdles. Consuela - and Anthony - and Suzanne’s - struggle in this episode is so real. For this segment, we’ll first talk process - what is citizenship and how do you get it - I’ll throw a couple numbers at Salina, and then, what the heck - let’s take a test!

Designing Women S4 E24 - Suzanne and Anthony Defraud...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/07/10

Ruh-roh. Suzanne is plotting again – this time roping Anthony into impersonating Consuela who is on the brink of being deported. What could possibly go wrong?? We’re not sure, but we absolutely know we won’t be putting on a wig, a bra, or hose anytime soon. That. Is. Final. Come back later this week if you want to learn how to achieve the American dream in just…10…simple…steps.

Designing Women S4 E23 Extra Sugar - The Return of...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/06/29

Let’s get ready to rumbbbbble! It’s time y’all, trivia time. In one corner, we have Nikki, calm, cool, collected. In the other, Salina, nervous, sweaty, and all over the place. Much like Highlander, there can be only one (or many if you count the people shouting the answer at their devices). The winner will grab victory. The not winner will buy both of us brunch. And let’s get real, when bacon is involved, everyone's winning on some level. Play along with us: it’ll be fun.

Designing Women S4 E23 - Suzanne Gets a Girlfriend

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/06/26

Suzanne’s new-old friend, who happens to also be gay, causes quite the stir among the ladies. We’re all learning lessons in this one: 90s style of course. Come back later in the week for a round of Southern trivia with stakes of course. Who will be the victor? Nikki. Who will try but mainly just be nervous? Salina.

Designing Women S4 E22 Extra Sugar - Michelin Star...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/06/22

This week’s episode with a fancy dinner atop an Atlanta building (or sound stage in Southern California) was the perfect opportunity to dig into those elusive little stars restaurants all over the world seek: The Michelin Star. See, a little birdie told us there are none, zero, zip here in the South, so we’ll dig into that claim. Who has them? Who doesn’t? And why does that matter? So, uh, bon appétit, or in this case: bon podcast?

Designing Women S4 E22 - Big Ole Mom Blob

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/06/19

Charlene is having a rough time. We don’t like it. Naturally, the rest of the Sugarbakers gang leap in to help to varying degrees of success. Come back later in the week to talk about Michelin Star restaurants in the South, or lack thereof, that is, all inspired by Charlene and Bill’s romantic rooftop dinner.

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/06/15

The “blink-and-you-miss-it” Bill Engvall appearance in this week’s Designing Women episode gave us the perfect opportunity to cover a Southern Millennial comedy rite of passage - The Blue Collar Comedy Tour. If you’re already a fan, this segment may give you some fun trivia - at a minimum, we can almost GUARANTEE there’s a Designing Women crossover you weren’t even aware of. If you don’t even know if your collar is blue, there’s something in here for you, too.

Designing Women S4 E21 - No Squealing, Giggling, or...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/06/12

Sugarbakers will do anything to get the client, even if it means swilling beer, smoking stogies, and wearing someone else’s shoes. That’s right, the ladies go toe-to-toe with an all-male design firm in an epic showdown to see who’s got the balls to win the bid on a bowling alley renovation (bowling balls, sheesh, people, get your mind out of the gutter). Anyways, girls rule and boys drool. Or at least we think that’s the takeaway. Come back on Thursday for an “Extra Sugar”, which capitalizes on Bill

Designing Women S4 E20 Extra Sugar - Prohibition

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/06/08

Daddy Jones and his moonshine made an appearance in this week’s episode, so we’re taking that as a perfectly adequate excuse to finally talk about prohibition and the, er, uh, precarious relationship we’ve had with alcohol here in the South. Join us as we discuss what prohibition was (and what it wasn’t), what it did (and what it didn’t), and the ripple effects we still see to this day. It’s a complicated history, y’all, so it’s impossible to cover it all in one fell swoop. We’ll be looking for

Designing Women S4 E20 - Four Gallons of Moonshine...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/06/05

Bad weather and uninvited guests have descended on Sugarbakers. What are we to do?? Well, what any good Southerner would: crank the tunes, pour the drinks, and fall in love. Much like the approaching tornado, it’s a wild one, y’all. Come back Thursday for an “Extra Sugar” on prohibition inspired by the evening’s signature cocktail: moonshine.

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/06/01

Ah…the time-honored, patriarchal tradition of marrying quickly to hide the shame of an unplanned pregnancy. This week’s episode of Designing Women was all about that (+ one-night stand shame for Julia), so let’s get some “Extra Sugar” on it. But, we’ll jazz it up, make it fun, with a “Grits Blitz.”

Designing Women S4 E19 - Julia the Dangerous Woman

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/05/29

Remember that time Julia got wasted at her son’s last-minute wedding? She definitely doesn’t! We’ll never forget her impromptu burlesque routine: the perfect gift for the son who just already has everything on his big day. Nikki’s is going to pop in – promptly of course – with a “Manners Moment with Mrs. Mayes” on wedding etiquette. Then come back on Thursday for an all-new “Extra Sugar” dedicated to shotgun weddings.

2023/05/25

Who? Little ole me? Bats eyes, faints. Comes to…slaps you like the fiery, well-mannered, brazen, demure Southern woman that she is. Whaaaaaaaaat? Yeah, we don’t get it either, which is why we’re exploring and busting up Southern women tropes in this week’s all-new Extra Sugar. Now excuse us, we have to go keep a perfect home, rope a calf, and put on some kind of hoop skirt. You know, because we’re Southern housewives, country girls, or belles. We forget.

Designing Women S4 E18 - My Fair Vanessa

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/05/22

Obviously we’re in love with Anthony Bouvier, but this week, we’re having to share him with Vanessa. She’s fallen hard and she finds herself worried about her place in his life, especially as Lita re-appears. Fortunately, she’s got the Designing Women on her side - even if they’re a little distracted by the fashion choices of Mary Jo’s electrician. We’ve got a new segment alert, Manners Moment with Mrs. Mayes, where we’ll talk a bit about restaurant etiquette (thanks to the ladies’ restaurant

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/05/18

In this week’s “Extra Sugar”, we’re taking an investigatory look into the underbelly of…No we’re not!! This one is light, lighter than light. We’re talking about fancy bathrooms courtesy of Anthony’s shock and awe over the luxurious ladies room inside the car dealership. And, y’all, these are fancy. Couple of quick thoughts: Money doesn't buy taste. Why are people obsessed with gold finishes?! We mean, it’s fine.

Designing Women S4 E17 - A Whiff of Desperation

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/05/15

We’ve all been there: a car dealership in the middle of the night haggling over a new van after your old one broke down on the side of a busy interstate, with a grumpy client sitting next to you grousing about all the free work she’s about to get when you don’t deliver by midnight. Oh, you haven’t been there? Okay…but you’ve been to the car dealership, right? In this week’s “Designing Women” the ladies (+ Anthony) take us on a wild ride through a pretty universal experience: the art of navigating

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/05/11

Poor Charlene is up a baby, but down a nanny in this week’s episode of Designing Women. As Sweet Tea & TV’s resident working mom, Nikki will try to fulfill her moral obligation to highlight the challenges working parents face in today’s workplace, as well as some of the policies that have changed the experience, and some that can change the experience. And, of course, we can’t skip a couple promising tips to give working parents some hope.

Designing Women S4 E16 - It’s Hot, Bulky, and...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/05/08

Uh oh, Suzanne’s love of designer clothing – namely, designer clothing made from cute, baby animals – has landed her in some hot water – and an arm sling – on this week’s Designing Women. But, don’t worry, Suzanne’s misfortune ALSO results in a new nanny for Charlene. Even if it was based on a sliiiiiiight misunderstanding… Come back later this week for an “Extra Sugar” all about the real heroes: working parents. (P.S. Ironically, Salina is dropping in this sentence because Nikki is currently in the

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/05/04

This week’s episode was all about infidelity, which opened the door to some (uncomfortably) interesting questions about the origins of monogamy, marriage, cheating–and how our perception of these concepts has changed over the course of human history. It’s messy! So, you know, get messy with us!
